On Monday Justice M. H. Bland ford was unanimously elected by the Legislature to succeed him- aelf on the Supreme bench. file President has designated Thursday, the 21th, as a day of thanksgiving. The Democrat* will observe the day with grateful , heart*. _ New York Slate has seen some close elections In the past, both on president and on governor. In 1828 General Jackson had only 5,350 more votes In the state than John Quincy Adams. This was the first time presidential electors wero chosen by popular vole, the legislature having appointed them previously. Henry Clay lost the state in 1844 by C,10C votes, and Lincoln had a majority of only 6,149 in 1864. Still closer votes have been seen in gubernatorial elections. Washington Hunt de feated Iloratio Seymour for gov ernor in 1850 by 262 vote*, and four years later Seymour suffered the same fate again at the hands of Myron H. Clark, this time by 309 vote*. New York appears to be chary of big majorities. TIIF. COLOR LINE. The Uepublieans have ior the past fifteen years coil plained of the color line which has existed politi eally in the Southern States, and have demanded that it should lie abolished. Now that Cleveland is elected and the national govern ment will be administered by Dem ocratic olllcials, it is probable that what they have so long contended for will be accomplished; but it is doubtful if they will bo piensed at the result. The political color line in the South has been maintained because the whites were almost universally Democrats in opposition to the Bcallawag Uepublieans who vulcd to ruin during the days of recon struction, and remained Democrats iu order to preserve an intelligent administration of their local gov ernments. The bl}oks were Re publican* because they thought they owed their freedom to the «Republican party, and remained Republicans because they had been taught to believe thnt if the Demo crats got into power they-, would be re-enslaved.. While the local in terests of whites and blacks were identical, and they for mnny years have voted together in the selec tion of local ofUcers, whan national election* took place the line was tightly drawn. But so noon as the colored people see thnt their polit ical rights are respected under a Democratic national administra tion ns t^ey have been under Dem ocratic state administration, the only incentive they have had for voting tho Republican ticket will have beeu taken away, and we shall sea them voting tho Democratic ticket with their white friends aud neighbors, and at the next presi dential election the South will be even more solid than it is now. Before five years roll mound tho Republican party will be demand ing that the elective franchise shall be taken away from the colored men of the South, on the moral ground that tuey ate not iutciiigent enough to exercise such a high privilege, and the political expedi ency of weakening the political strength of the South.
